Location

9/10

This hotel is on the southern edge of Tewkesbury looking out to the Cotswold Hills in one direction and the Malvern Hills in another. Despite the town’s wealth of half-timbered houses and its beautiful 12th-century abbey, it is under-visited. Access is easy: Tewkesbury is 10 minutes from the M5 and also from Ashchurch station on the Bristol-Birmingham line.

Style & character

8/10

The core building is a handsome 18th-century property. Around it are 1970s additions, built when Tewkesbury Park became a golfing venue with accommodation. The interiors are casual-smart with Scandi-chic undertones and there’s a generous sense of light and space in the public areas, which are decorated in crisp blues and mellow yellows – from a cocktail bar to a lounge with huge windows taking in those dreamy views.

Service & facilities

9/10

Quite apart from the 73-par golf course there are two tennis courts, two squash courts, a gym, bike spinning studio and indoor swimming pool. Chill-out facilities range from outdoor hot tub to sauna and steam room. The spa is partnered with the Natural Spa Factory in Bath; signature treatments include bespoke facials and seaweed wraps. From beauty therapists to receptionists, staff are engagingly enthusiastic.

Rooms

8/10

The nine suites in the main building and 85 bedrooms in an adjoining wing are soothing, in harmonious creams, browns and greys. They all have TVs and state-of-the-art Hypnos beds clad in fine Egyptian cotton. Entry-level rooms are fairly spacious –with desk and armchair – and have small-ish bathrooms with bathtubs and showers. Suites are large and lovely, with modern Art Deco-style furnishings and Nespresso machines; the most upscale have slipper baths and his-and-hers walk-in showers.

Food & drink

7/10

Executive chef Anuj Thakur offers select seasonal menus that are full of local flavour – starters might include goat cheese mousse with Cheltenham beetroot while mains could feature Gloucester Old Spot pork presented three ways. The very 1970s dining room has yet to be restyled (at the time of writing in June 2016), so ask to eat in the adjacent, elegant orangery. On my stay breakfast was a buffet spread of granola, yoghurts, fruit and, disappointingly, a canteen-like array of pre-cooked dishes from black pudding to fried eggs.

Value for money

Access for guests with disabilities?

Several of the larger ground-floor rooms have walk-in showers and can be accessed by wheelchair users via ramps.

Family-friendly?

Families are well served, with three sets of interconnecting rooms in the accommodation wing and a two-suite enclave in the main house. Alternatively, pull-out beds are available in many rooms. Dogs may stay in designated bedrooms.

Calls to 03 numbers cost no more than calls to geographic numbers (01 or 02) and are included in inclusive minutes and discount schemes in the same way.
